Doja Cat and Drake Win Big At The 2022 Billboard Music Awards

By  | 

The Billboard Music Awards are honors given out annually by Billboard, a publication covering the music business and a music popularity chart. The Billboard Music Awards show had been held annually since 1990, with the exception of the years 2007 through 2010. The event was formerly staged in December[1] but since returning in 2011, it has been held in May

This year Sean “Diddy” Combs hosted the big event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 15. The Weeknd entered the night with the most nominations—a grand total of 17—followed by Doja Cat with 14 nods and Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Olivia Rodrigo with 13 apiece. The “drivers license” singer received several honors, including the coveted top new artist award. Other winners included Ye, Drake, Doja Cat and Taylor Swift.

In addition, Mary J. Blige received the Icon Award, and Mari Copeny was honored with the Changemaker Award. But the trophies weren’t the only exciting part of the night. There was also fierce red carpet fashion and the star-studded list of performers. Megan Thee Stallion, Silk Sonic, Becky G, Ed Sheeran, Elle King, Miranda Lambert, Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Scott (who only recently returned to the stage following the Astroworld tragedy in November) were among the many musicians who rocked out.

Many winners were announced hours before the ceremony in a TikTok live stream.
